This was the second LSNY Family Walk, hopefully we will offer more this spring. We met on the Great Hill, near the restrooms at 10:00am and since the area was quite birdy we stayed up there for a while. On the Great Hill we observed several warbler species, a couple Red-Tailed Hawks and Turkey Vultures. We then walked down to the Pool and ended shortly after that. We totaled 32 species for the morning and fun was had by all!
